My surgery is scheduled for Monday the 18th. I'm super nervous but know it will all be worth it. I only fear I won't lose like I expect to. Only time will tell. The two week prep has been tough for me. I haven't had one soda since I started the prep. And only eating one meal a day when my stomach is still normal sized is hard. I do the Protein Shakes. Those help a lot and I'm very blessed with a supportive husband but ahhhhh! I'm ready to get the surgery over with and start my family when the time is right. I have pcos and it's miserable to deal with. It has caused me a lot of grief and has me infertile. Prayers needed and I'll be praying for you all as well. Keep in touch!

Tricia, my friend has pcos and had the sleeve done over a year and a half ago and was pregnant in less than a year after she had surgery! She's due in late July/ early August!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
